They can help you pick out a suitable punch or possibly special-order the exact one you want. My next-best choice is usually my local big-box craft store. They don't special order for me, but I have this idea that their bulk shipping is more environmentally friendly than me just having one craft punch shipped across the country to me alone. Is that really more environmentally friendly? I'd love to hear some opinions... Anyway, they're also local, and spending my money locally is good. My third-best choice is ordering online. I like being able to research, comparison shop, and order exactly what I want, but I'm less happy paying shipping, waiting for my order, and not supporting my local businesses. What do y'all think? Is there are gold-standard good-for-the-environment way to buy stuff that may not be in stock? I mentioned this before, but I suggest first going to your local independent scrapbook store, obviously.

I bought it from a big-box craft store locally (they have it at our Michael's and Joann's) with a 50%-off coupon. I NEVER buy anything from our big-box craft stores unless it's at least 40% off. Sometimes I have to collect the supplies I want for a particular project over the course of a month, as I get mailed 40%-off coupons weekly, because I'm weird and I just can't stand maybe paying an extra buck for something!
